The above complains about an unexported function random:seed/1, used by 
the shovel plug-in. That function only became part of the public API in 
Erlang/OTP R13B01. I suspect you are running an older version.

I have filed a bug to get the shovel code changed so it works with older 
versions of Erlang too. Meanwhile, perhaps you could upgrade to R13B01 
or higher on that machine? Certainly if, as you say, you are planning to 
use SSL we'd recommend running R13B02 or R13B03.
